Take Note of the Analogy
Love is the energy that permeates and powers all creation. Nothing exists without this energy, and everything is instilled with this essence. It is our heart, the point of connection where instinct, love, and light reside.
Imagine this energy as the sun and each of us as a ray of light. The sun’s energy, a loving force, is a part of us and connects us all. We rely on it for our existence. We have no life without it. Sharing the same energy source, we are eternally connected by the love in our hearts.
As the sun extends its light outward in all directions, the rays of light are never separated from their source, no matter how far the light travels. We are those rays of light spread outward from our source yet eternally connected to it. Our purpose is to expand the loving energy that created us, shining bright with all the same energy as the sun.
However, as we venture out as rays of light, we lose a sense of connection to the loving energy we share. The process of our seeming separation confuses us. Instead of extending the loving energy we are, we develop a separate mindset that mistakenly believes we are independent and isolated from our shared light. We feel alone and disconnected from others and the sun. Our minds become filled with thoughts that protect, defend, and uphold this perceived separate self. We attach to the flurry of ideas flooding our minds. The thoughts obscure the light in us, clouding our recognition of oneness. The energy we emit through our thoughts is no longer clear and enlightened. It is bogged down with the heavy burden of our fears.
We must undo all that we perceive through our seemingly disconnected minds. We must release the cloud cover we form to protect this false sense of self. When we accept our one illuminated heart as our guide, we notice the light again. We return to extending the loving energy of our source. Only as we learn to overlook all of the judgment, defensiveness, and despair our separated selves attach to will we be free to experience peace and joy.
Each moment, we choose between unity and separateness, light and darkness, love and fear. In the complete undoing of all that clouds our recognition of the light in and around us, we recognize our purpose. We are one energy that expands as we align with the love we share rather than the thoughts that separate. We realize, becoming fully aware, that our attachment to this perceived separate self obscures our recognition of the truth. We release the ideas that do not serve our goal of extending love and interpret the world without the clouds of fear. The forgiveness of the mind and the acceptance of our shared heart allow the light to replace the darkness of our seeming separation. We take note of the moment to recognize the unclouded path to peace and joy.
